Personally I would prefer a series of smaller patches. I.e. can't we just
optionally replace the LinkedBlockingQueues used with with the SemaphoreBased*
based ones, and then add the nice factories in a 2nd patch?
{quote}
{{BlockingQueue}} has too many methods and its contracts. I found I just
created broken implementations. Fortunately, a few methods were required in the
logic, and I extracted them into a small interface {{CallQueue}}.

Do you think that with this patch we can get rid of the multi call queue logic?
I.e. go back have a single queue (or one for reader and one for writers).
{quote}
I think there is no reason to use multi queues. One should use a single queue
until there is truly no choice to use multi queues.

> {{LinkedBlockingQueue}} well separates locks between the {{take}} method and
> the {{put}} method, but not between takers, and not between putters. These
> methods are implemented to take locks at the almost beginning of their logic.
> HBASE-11355 introduces multiple call-queues to reduce such possible
> congestion, but I doubt that it is required to stick to {{BlockingQueue}}.
> There are the other shortcomings of using {{BlockingQueue}}. When using
> multiple queues, since {{BlockingQueue}} blocks threads it is required to
> prepare enough threads for each queue. It is possible that there is a queue
> starving for threads while there is another queue where threads are idle.
> Even if you can tune parameters to avoid such situations, the tuning is not
> so trivial.
> I suggest using a single {{ConcurrentLinkedQueue}} with {{Semaphore}}.
